Couldn't find a camera shot thread. Can't remember the Max Ophuls film that had a nifty tracking shot of a waiter holding aloft a tray and zipping through a crowd.

in "The Straight Story", Richard Farnsworth around a fire at night, telling a hitchhiker about his take on family.

the "Is it safe?" hijinks in "Marathon Man"

the bowling alley scene in ""There Will be Blood"

Peter Finch's "I'm mad as hell" rant in "Network"

the opening shot in Polanski's "MacBeth" of the endless tidal flat, as a stick enters the frame from (I think) top right - the witchy-poo's stick!

Ellen Burstyn and Kris Kristofferson's big argument in the restaurant near the end of "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore".


Of those I've seen they are good. Especially the end of There Will Be Blood. Daniel Day-Lewis was awesome in that scene.
